Background information

Edubox is a Start-Up created by the University of Aveiro and is specialised in creating educational solutions for the public sector.

Due to the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent closure of schools, the distance from the client and the need for confinement of education professionals, Edubox developed a platform (Go4All) for interconnection between education professionals, family and students to better respond to effective needs.

Content of measure

Due to the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent lock-down and closure of schools, Edubox, in a short period of time, developed the collaborative platform “Go4All”.

This collaborative platform allowed the interconnection between teachers, students and parents. The platform aims at allowing access to educational content, to work collaboratively and to share contents among teachers, parents and students.

On the other hand, this platform provides a contact center with teachers and multidisciplinary teams (such as psychologists, speech therapists, among others) in order to help and training those who were using the platform during the confinement period.

Use of measure

The 'Go4All' educational platform has been implemented in more than 500 schools, in Portugal Mainland and in the Azores. With the “Go For All” project, Edubox grew 50% compared to the same period in 2019, reached a turnover of €2 million, gathered two new markets and hired five new employees.
